Label reads: "Made in Czecho Slovakia" (two words) and "Copy of Antonius Stradivarius"
Well, Antonius didn't make any basses, but it's likely that this bass is from a shop in what was later called Czechoslovakia, from the 1930's.
It is made with a spruce top and maple sides. The back has that slanted upper section and flat below.
The bass has a lengthy crack down the treble side of the top, and a new neck.
Both the top and the neck are professionally repaired, with no lingering issues anywhere on the bass.
It has a "D" neck with a healthy ebony fingerboard. Bridge has adjusters
Bass plays very easily and evenly.
Mature, clear sound throughout - with authoritative low end and cello-like upper register.
Currently strung with Tomastik Spirocore/orchestra strings.
Presently being played frequently on gigs. Arco response is truly lyrical.
Ideal for a student wishing to 'move up' or a pro looking for a work-a-day instrument
Prefer Los Angeles-area pickup, but will ship for an additional $400 within USA.
